pants to match

This is where I'm keeping track of my summer reading! I'm having fun with books, it's something I've missed over the past few years, being immersed in fandom, and possessing a weirdly one-track mind. Feel free to add to my rec list here, I'm up for anything fun; though I'm not big on mysteries, I love supernatural stories injected with humor, any kind of teenage shenanigans, romance, etc, as stated at my original post. This will be updated as the summer progresses!

currently reading:
The Hero and the Crown
Boy Meets Boy – not entirely convinced of the awesome, the idealistic atmo and prose is not exactly my cup of tea, on hold!

I got sucked into a few webcomics. The problem with them is that they're (usually) ongoing, so at the beginning it's awesome! There's so much to read! And then you hit the end and you have to wait another week or more for one more panel, which occasionally is just the characters making faces at each other or something. Ha, and now I really wish I could draw, because they look like a lot of fun to do. And, oh my god, I kind of want to go and find millions of pictures of bandom, right, and then cut them all up so I can make, like, flat posable dolls of each person, right, right? AND THEN MAKE THEM INTO A COMIC. HEE. Based on, like, idek, one of the many unfinished stories I have on my desktop. I think the idea of this is hilarious, but totally unfeasible!

I've been reading a lot of non-bandom fic. Some of it bad.

Also, words or phrases that will make me hit the back button faster than you can say Merlin loves unicorns (which, okay, where's the crossover story where Mikeyway is Merlin??? Or at the very least the one where they meet and BOND INSTANTLY):

lover (wretches all over the place), one (when used in place of you, I think maybe everyone already knows how I feel about this, however irrational it may be!!), random epithets (I mean, I dislike them in general, but there are still correct ways and then wrong ways, like saying 'the bass player' instead of Jon, when everyone clearly knows he's the bass player, and ALSO he's no where near his bass, like he's maybe cooking omlets or something, wtf people? WTF?) - okay, I think that's actually all I can think of that I've come across lately.

I have been CRAVING high school AUs. Anyone want to rec me high school AUs in ANY fandom - and ALSO any original high school stories would be SUPER ACE.

Rec me something gay. Rec me something juicy & lengthy & gay of the bandslash or SGA variety (no spoilers). Please?

Also -

Me: I'm going to marry Fall Out Boy
J: Do they know you already booked the hall?

Also, also -

J: You know what I want to be? I want to be--
Me: A magician?
*both of us die laughing*
J: No, no, I want to be--
Me: Seriously, you should be a magician.
*more dying by laughter*
J: No, I want to be, like, a criminal mastermind.
*silent pause*
Me: Can't you be both?

Now J leaves the room by pretending to throw down smoke and disappearing. We are so dumb. Seriouly, we could not stop laughing about the magician stuff, and it's really not all that funny. We totally deserve each other.
